With current prices in the $1.50/lb; and the big spike a couple of years ago (to $4/lb); it&#039;s just not worth it. Also it&#039;s highly correlated to basic economic growth. If economic growth is picking up there are a bunch of superior investments.</p><p><br /></p><p>But as those of us here are into coins; I have found one copper coin that I had to have. I&#039;m a huge Atlas Shrugged fan. Too bad her book written in 1957 seems to be describing our economic and political situation today. There is a website&nbsp; <a href="http://www.johngalt.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.johngalt.com" rel="nofollow">www.johngalt.com</a>&nbsp; that sells all sorts of Atlas Shrugged stuff: shirts, bumper stickers, coffee mugs, etc. And my favorite: 1oz pure copper coins with d&#039;Anconia Copper on the obverse!</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought about sending one to each of those free-spending of our money idiots in Congress; but I figured they&#039;d have no idea what I was referring to.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yippee!! My 1st post!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
